GifOmatic 1.2 - Sun 03. March 1996
===================================
WWW-GIF tool
Description
===========
GifOmatic is intended to open NeXT TIFF files, replace and
pick colors and save them as WWW-compliant GIFs, with
transparency and interlaced effect.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.2
=================
COLOR DEPTH FIX
Now the 1 bit and 12 bit color depth problems are fixed
TOLERANCE
As requested by many users we added a fill and replace
tolerance.
FIXED RIGHTS
We missed a chmod on the last distribution.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.1
=================
FILTERS
Our smart boss allowed to put some useful (ScanOmatic)
filter into the app. Esp. the gamma correction filter
fixes too dark images on Wi..... machines.
INTEL FIX
Some byte ordering problems caused a strange color
handling on Intel machines.
ftp SOURCE
==========
We put it on the new US site and on peanuts, but again we
don't know where it finally end up.
